Throwback Thursday: Ford's foundation

Fifty years ago tonight, Richard Nixon announced that he would resign as president of the United States. At noon the next day, Gerald R. Ford ’41LLB (right in photo) became president—the second Yale graduate to hold the office and the first since William Howard Taft left office in 1913. In our October 1974 issue, we caught readers up on Ford's Yale career—first as an assistant football coach, then a law student.
